Terrible school my son was very unhappy here and I wish we never met this school everyone is ghetto and unsophisticated teachers/nurse and students. DO BETTER! Or let’s take their funding and put it in the top tier schools in dc.
Posted by a parent on 3/29/2026Cops come nearly every weekend to step in and fight students.
Posted by a parent on 3/27/20234/10. Students are sweet, smart, and respectful when you get past their harsh exteriors of trauma and socio-economic hardships. Students are NOT the issue. Administration is. We need to reconstitute the administrative team instead of he teachers this time.
